Jeremy Mayfield's 12,000 Sq. Ft. House to be Burned to Ground Saturday

General

One thing ppl dont mention is Jeremy and his wife never moved into this house. They kicked him off the land, it was in the process of being remodeled and after the NASCAR vs Mayfield battle began it was foreclosed on. the house and it sat for about 2 year in limbo before someone bought the house. It was their choice to burn it down and this would wipe off the tax lien on the house. Rumors of it being a Meth-house and no one could live in it safely was not true.

I know I thanked everyone who tried to answer my question about the Pit Boards sign.

Just so you all know I did get a reply from Richmond Gage. This is what he told me.

James, as far as I can remember, and this was 31 years ago, the pit boards were
like chalkboards (the back you cannot see was slate, so if the radio went out, a
message could be written on it). They painted one side and put the number it
(the day-glo was for Kyle, Petty blue for The King). Dowels were used to make
the handles (not sure of the exact dimesions), and slotted to fit the board.

This is a start and I will be hunting or making one to go along with my KP tribute car.

Thanks again for all your help.

McPeek,

I want to thank you and your wife going through the effort. I could see you asking her to hold her arms out and you getting tape measure or a string. LOL
